Using a 8330 curve on Alltel

I purchased an 8330 Curve that originally was set up on Sprint. The seller said it would work on Alltel (my provider). Alltel says I have to have an Alltel phone. Is that correct? thanks

Welcome to the forums.
That is correct - so far no CDMA carriers are allowing devices from other CDMA carriers on their networks. That includes Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel.
I'd ask the seller for your money back.

8330 Curve - Tethered Modem with Acer Aspire One Netbook ?

Anyone have any experience, or knowledge, about using the 8330 Curve's ability as a tethered modem with Acer's Aspire One 8.9" netbook that uses the XP Home Windows operating system with Intel's Atom processor and a 160 GB hard drive and an external DVD/CD reader drive?
My Alltel 8330's Curve works great with my regular Compaq laptop, but it's aging and I'm considering this little well-reviewed Acer Netbook.
Thanks in advance!

USB tethering should work with any Windows 2000 / XP / Vista.

I have a 8330 curve and would like to force roaming on it

I have a 8330 curve and would like to force roaming on it. I get signal from my carrier but signal isn't very good and phone will get signal and then loose it. There are time it locks on roaming tower but won't stay there and when this happens i have lots of dropped calls. thanks for any help richard

You could use Google Calendar and Google Contacts. Both synchronize effortlessly with blackberry (assuming you have a data contract) and both can sync with Thunderbird with the help of suitable add-ons such as Lightning for the calendar and gContactSync etc for your Thunderbird address book.
As regards the calendar, I use it to sync Events, I can't speak for Tasks. They seem to have a cinderella status in Lightning. :-(

RSS Feeds on 8330 Curve

Hello,
Wondering how to subscribe to RSS Feeds using the Blackberry Browser. I have an 8330 Curve - 4.5.0.138 OS
Found documentation that states the following:
Subscribe to a web feed
On a web page, press the Menu key.
Click Add Web Feed.
Select the check box beside a web feed.
In the Auto Synchronize field, set how often the browser should check for updates to the web feed.
In the Start time field, set the time of day when the browser should start checking for updates.
Click Add
However, I don't seem to have this option "Add Web Feed" in my meu.
I have navigated to several web feed pages and clicked the menu key. I have the "add bookmark" option where I can select auto synchronize but nothing that says "Add Web Feed"
Any thoughts or solutions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Issue resolved. I changed the browser from "Blackberry Brower" to "Internet Browser" and the Add Web Feed option appears in the menu.

Don't want personal emails showing in work email inbox (8330 Curve)

I succesfully set up my personal email account (comcast) on my 8330 Curve, but the messages are showing in both the main inbox (work) and also the comcast inbox. Does anyone know how to get the device to only show them in the personal inbox?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

lol, yea, it's pretty technologically unadvanced, lol.
Some users prefer to hide the main message icon and use only the email-specific folder. They are automatically filtered in that manner. So only your yahoo account email comes to the Yahoo folder, only your Gmail comes to your gmail folder, only your [email protected] email comes to another folder, etc.
You can have up to ten email accounts/addresses on one device/BIS account.
You can do a search of this and all other blackberry-related forums, and I think you will find the answer is... no. Sorry.
Now, that said, a BES account can have a policy pushed to it to have the BES mail moved to a different folder, and BES users can also use Empower BES Inbox... but none of that applies to this situation.

8330 Curve Hotsync questions

I just got an 8330 Curve. When I hotsync I get a message "1134 records skipped, check log". Can anyone tell me how to find the "log" and why it is skipping records?
Thanks,

It is not Blackberry, it is your carrier. Alltel recently added MMS service and for a lot of users it doesn not yet function properly.

8330 curve problem

I have an 8330 curve that at various times the internal speaker shuts off or something....Something is causing the phone to shut down the internal speaker so when I dial the phone connects but I can not hear it dial or hear it ring...the only way I've found to fix the problem is to do a soft re-start(take the battery out). The first phone I had did it and I took it to Verizon and they said the phone was bad....now on 3rd phone....not the phone just something causing it. Help!!! Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried to narrow down what causes it---maybe going from car bluetooth (2009 Murano) to no bluetooth???? Just don't know and am very frustrated.....
Thanks for any help on this matter....

I'm not sure, and I am sure that you went around and around with it, having been through three phones. But, are you sure your are actually going to "NO Bluetooth"? Could the phone still be picking up and automatically staying connected to either your car bluetooth or some bluetooth headset that you have it paired with. The bluetooth can and will work up to 30 feet away. In fact, I use a stereo headset around the house and leave the phone in my bedroom on charger and can walk 50 feet away, with walls between me and the phone before I start losing the signal and sound begins cutting out (just example of how some of the BT signals are). Did you try disabling the bluetooth on your device in your 'settings' to see if the phones internal speaker then works?

8330 Curve Error message 00x80040fb3

My 8330 Curve is giving me an error message while syncing with my computer. I've narrowed it down (by syncing each thing individually) to when the address book is time to sync. It gets about half way through and then comes up with a box that says
"Error message: 00x80040fb3"
Does anyone know what this means or have gotten it fixed? I really don't want to pay $40 for a one time only fix with a technician if it's something I could do myself.
Please let me know anything!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You got your error code wrong, btw, by one digit...only one leading zero at the beginning. But, no matter, I still managed to find the relevant KB...see here:
KB14818 Error Encountered 0x80040FB3, Check Documentation error appears during a wired synchronization
Hope that helps!

Where on my 8330 Curve B Berry do I turn ON Java program ?

My 8330 CURVE model B Berry has JAVA programming but I've recently had another program tell me that Java is NOT turned on, where and how do I go in the phone to turn ON Java program ? Please Help; Sincerely Charles PS Have only had my Curve only about a week or so now ,todays date Sunday Jan.25,2009 !
From the Black Berry of Charles W. Merritt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

there is no "java turning on" on Blackberry devices.
the BlackBerry device uses an operating system that is based on Java.
the BlackBerry device can use applications developed in Java (either J2ME like any mobile phone, or ALX special files for BlackBerry devices)
the BlackBerry device has a browser that can do JavaScript but not Java applets.
Question is : why do you think you need Java ?

Can't click on links and buttons from verizon 8330 curve

I am currently working on developing a web system using HTML & PHP. I have it up and running in a development environment, but when I look at it from my blackberry (Verizon 8330 Curve) I can see the page, but I can't click on anything. (Links or Buttons) I asked a coworker to try from his phone (Verizon Storm) and he didn't have any trouble. So my question is what am I doing wrong where nothing is appearing as usable? I wanted to make sure that my coding wasn't the problem so I created a test page and had the same problem. Below is the code I am using from the test page.

All-Day Events Don't Appear in Calendar of Today Theme on Verizon 8330 Curve

I have a new Verizon 8330 Curve synchronized with my Outlook desktop calendar.
Using the BB Today Theme, only those calendar events lasting less than one day -- one hour, 15 minutes, etc. -- appear under the calendar on the home screen. No all-day events appear on the home screen.
The Today theme apparently does not recognize all-day events.
This is not acceptable. I have plenty of all-day events in the calendar that ought to be appearing on the home screen, alongside 15-minute events, when they're coming up next.
The Verizon tech people are totally perplexed by this, saying they've not heard of such an issue. They think there may be a problem with the Curve device, and they're sending me a new one.
However, I've seen a fair amount of discussion online concerning this quirk, so it seems like there's a bona fide synchronization problem between the Blackberry calendar/theme and Outlook as it pertains to all-day events.
Could somebody from Blackberry please weigh in with a definitive solution? I can't be the only guy in America who care about the fact that birthdays, anniversaries, etc. are not appearing on the BB home screen under the Today theme.

I take it then you don't have a memory problem. Just to clarify, your events on the calendar are fine, it's just the display
on the home screen where they disappear?
Have you tried a battery pull to reset all options? Pill the battery from the phone while it is ON, leave it out for about a
minute and replace. Leave the system completly reboot 1-2 minutes and see if the problem continues. This is a common fix on these forums.

8330 curve not being able to view mms messages

8330 curve, i can't open and play mms messages sent by text message. It says in order to view this message go to you axcessmypic.com to view. I'm with alltel and they don't seem to have a answer for me. I have received messages with my old razor and never had an issue with that phone. I would sure think that this blackberry would be capable of opening these messages.

It is not Blackberry, it is your carrier. Alltel recently added MMS service and for a lot of users it doesn not yet function properly.

Problems with wired connection to external speakers - 8330 Curve

I have a boombox and travel speakers I use with my 8330 curve. When I connect these to my 8330 with a 3.5mm cable (3 contacts, not 4) I get static between each song. I am guessing this has something to do with using a 3 contact male connector into the 4 contact female connector on my device. I understand the 4th contact is used for microphone on a headset, but I only want to connect to my speakers for music.
Any thoughts on how I can connect to external speakers and eliminate the static? Is there a 3.5mm adapter that goes from a 4 contact male to a 3 contact female? Blackberry offers a 3.5 male to 2.5 female adapter which is not what I am looking for, plus I believe it is still 4 contacts so it would not resolve my static problem.
I am hoping for a resolution without resorting to the Bluetooth gateway.
Thanks!

Unfortunatly, I can't help with the cabled connection static issue. However, I'll plug the Gateway. I have one and it's absolutely awesome. It works flawlessly and I wouldn't trade it for a cable for anything.

How to download photos from 8330 Curve?

Hi,
I am a new user and do not know how to download photos from a 8330 Curve. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks a lot.

Go to Solution.

IrwinII,
The mass storage mode only works with a media card on the Curve. I think the Bold is the only phone that can have the internal drive work in mass storage mode.
You can use Roxio Media Manager (dowload Blackberry Desktop Manager with Media Manager if you don't have it). See this link for a demo.
